An International Driving Permit (IDP) is a document recognized internationally that allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle in any country that recognizes IDPs. It is a translation of your national driving license that provides essential information from your driver’s license in several languages. It is important to note that an IDP does not replace the need for a valid driving license from your home country rather, it acts as a supplement.
